The GARR is moving inexorably towards its completion. Today Monday we
saw some of our support team leave. Steve who has been doing a great
job driving the truck and keeping the truck contents in order returned
to Adelaide today. Tomorrow, Tuesday, Khaleque and Hajrat return to
Bangladesh after 9 weeks of being in Australia, almost all of the time
being on the GARR. Hajrat this morning commented that the time now
seemed like a dream. It was something strange and exotic, not real,
like a dream when you wake in the morning. I commented that they have
their memories and they certainly have plenty of photos. They have
seen a lot of Australia. Ross made the wry comment that he personally
has now seen Australia at 5km/hour. As the driver of the support
vehicle he has driven along behind the rickshaw and so has had a
unique perspective on the scenery, road and rickshaw ride. Jeremy
Clarkson may have 'Top Gear' but Ross Pritchard has '1st Gear'!
Today was a rest day and tomorrow there will be another school.
We received news tonight from Len that Daryl was operated on today and
apparently has had a plate inserted in his cheek. He will be
overnighting in Bendigo Hospital and as far as Len knew, the operation
went well. We wish Daryl a speedy recovery and will keep you up to
date on his progress.
